ASHER.

My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Elder Ambrose, who cleared his throat to seek my attention.

As soon as I turned to face him, he began to speak, "Umm, Alpha," he said as calmly as he could, with an awkward smile on his face.

"What Elder Bernard is trying to say is this: for someone as merciless as the vampire queen, we're afraid she wouldn't hesitate to wage war against us if..." He was still speaking when I swiftly interrupted him.

"So, are you asking me to relinquish our authority to her?" I questioned in a stern voice.

At my words, the both of them quickly lowered their heads. "We dare not, Alpha." They responded in unison, and after about five more seconds, Elder Ambrose's voice came again,

"We are not asking that you give up our pack to a stranger; we're only asking you to put every possibility into consideration." He pressed on while Elder Bernard nodded his head.

Despite his effort to keep his voice steady, the fear underlying it was unmistakable. As for the pac

    ASHER. "Brother, you know he's telling the truth." Akira's voice was tense and urgent as she spoke, panic flickering across her face. At her words, I chuckled, the sound of which rang with emptiness. "What truth are you talking about?" I asked, my question dripping with incredulity as my eyes darted from Akira's face to the physician's, in anticipation of the response that would prove me wrong. No matter how hard I thought about it, I just couldn't fathom why they were overreacting. As far as I knew, it was nothing to be so frantic about. As soon as the words left my lips, Akira responded, "Brother, you know so well how dangerous and severe it gets in that season of your life and how careful you need to be." She said, her tone laced with disbelief as if she was trying to say, 'You're supposed to know that!' As if that wasn't enough, she pressed on, "If truly the season is upon you again, then you really have to reconsider your plans of leaving the pack." She strongly advised, h

    Asher At my words, the physician heaved a sigh, and then he took two steps closer to me. "Alpha!" His voice came gently. "For the past three years you've had this crisis; it has always taken a toll on you," he said, his voice tinged with concern. "I'm sorry to say this, but I'm sure you can remember we even had to lock you up in an empty room so that you wouldn't hurt yourself or those around you." As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as though he was saying, 'You know I'm right!' Although the physician spoke calmly, his words stirred something else within me. Gradually, I began to succumb to the feelings that accompanied them and the memories of the years past that they brought along. At that moment, my gaze turned inward as memories from those painful years began to stroll past me. Every single one of them left trails of sadness in their wake. Three years ago was the beginning of one of the most lonely and painful years of my life. Even after my breakup with th

    Xenra The atmosphere was unusually quiet as Akira and Asher went about their dinner. From the look on Akira's face, I could tell something was running through her mind. Her brows were slightly creased as she picked at her meal as though she had no appetite, and I began to wonder if they had had another quarrel. After about four minutes of eating without saying a word to each other, Akira slammed her knife and fork against her plate, which made Asher's head jerk up. "What's the matter?" He asked, his tone ringing with concern. As if that was the signal Akira had been waiting for, she said, "Brother, I really hope you can reconsider your plan." Her words dripping with urgency as she stared at Asher. Her words made my brows furrow, and I began to wonder what she was talking about. Asher's expression remained unreadable, and even though he didn't say a word, Akira pressed on. "I'd advise you to wait until you've had your crises, after which you can go wherever you want to

    Xenra I was still busy gathering the broken pieces when Akira's voice rang out again, in desperation. "Why don't we look for a solution to this ailment once and for all, or maybe something that can help you go through it with minimal pain this time around?" She asked, tensed. At her words, I snorted in a mix of satisfaction and amusement. What a joke! "Have we not been looking for a solution this whole time?" Asher retorted, his tone rising in a shimmering anger. From where I was, I could hear the anger ringing in his tone. I could tell his furrow had etched deeper, causing me to silently snort in amusement again Almost immediately, his words came again. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Stop treating me as if I'm a child." He said, his tone firm and resolute. Akira went silent at his words, but she didn't return to her seat. Although I could not see her face, I didn't need anyone to tell me she had her lips pouted. But then, I knew why Asher was angry, how could I forget those days, wh

    XenraBefore I could say another word, Asher's voice rang out in anger. "What did you just say?" He asked, his words spilling out in a rush. His furrowed brows deepened as he stared at me.I had expected him to get angry, but since I was determined to grab the opportunity before me, I knew I had to push forward. "I said I know a wa..." I began to say, but before I could complete my words, Asher swiftly cut me off."You bloody fool, were you listening to our conversation?" He questioned, his voice rising with every word. His displeasure at my intrusion echoed in his tone.As he stared at me, he pressed hard on his other hand, attempting to hold it in place. He was doing a good job trying to put it under control."You're supposed to be busy attending to our needs; that's your only job as my slave, not listening to the conversation between my sister and me." He pointed out with the same intensity, as he never missed an opportunity to remind me of my place in his pack."Brother!" Akira

    XenraAkira scoffed and turned towards me; I knew she had deliberately decided to ignore his words."Do you really have a solution to his ailment?" She asked, her voice heavy with concern as she stared desperately at me.At her words, I lifted my head and stared at her, "Yes, my lady, I know of a way to calm his trembling hands." I answered calmly, a stark contrast to the anger brewing within me.As soon as the words left my lips, Asher chuckled, the sound of which dripped with mockery. He clearly wasn't amused; he had found my words unbelievable, which I clearly understood. Back then while we were together, his physicians couldn't help him.It had taken a lot of effort from every physician in his pack to try to reduce his trembling. I was the only one who could do it without any medications.I had a way of calming his nerves and made him feel better. It was a secret method no other person knew, not even his physicians. Which was why I was also his physician back then."Are you reall

    AsherI pushed back whatever irritation I had felt from her touch, and for about five seconds, I struggled to believe what had just happened.The fact that my hand had stopped trembling left my mind muddled, but after about six more seconds, I jolted out of the surprise that had left me stunned.I couldn't afford to give Xenra or Akira the satisfaction of relishing my bewilderment. But before I could put on my mask of nonchalance, Akira's voice cut through the air."You felt relieved, right?" She asked, her tone ringing with excitement, and as she stared at me, I could see the anticipation glinting in her eyes."Yes, I did!" I answered with a fervent nod of the head before it dawned on me. Damn! I guess I was too excited about the quick relief I had felt from the agony to remember that I was supposed to be pretending.At my words, Akira chuckled; she was clearly elated. Without saying another word to me, she turned towards Xenra, who had been standing all along."How did you do it?"

    Xenra With an unwavering determination, I dashed through the path from the hall to my room, and with that same intensity, started arranging my belongings. I was still trying to meet up with time when Zara rushed into the room. "What are you doing?" She asked, her eyes aghast in a mix of shock and surprise. "I'm trying to get my things ready," I answered immediately, my words tumbling out with the same intensity brewing within me. "I'm going somewhere with the Alpha." I said without taking my eyes off what I was doing, my hands still hovering like a flash over my personal belongings. "Okay." Zara muttered barely above a whisper, which caught my attention, but then, I was too busy gathering my belongings to pay attention to her. Unlike the Zara I knew, she walked towards her bunk and sat down quietly. Seven seconds passed, and there were no words from her. It was that unusual gesture that forced me out of what I was doing. My head whipped towards her direction to find her should

At that moment, all I felt was peace and truth, a sincerity that couldn't be denied.There was no other word to be said; I had seen and heard it all myself.As we stared at each other, the thudding sounds of boots running towards us made our heads whip towa

    XenraMy heart banged faster as I stared at Asher, who was lying down almost motionless. The sight of him looking so weak and frail made my heart jump so hard from fright."Asher!""Asher!" His name tumbled out of my lips as desperation swelled within me. I was in an urgent need to get to him; I tried to drag myself towards him, but I couldn't even move an inch.The transfer I made to save his life had left me feeling like a sack of bones.Chills and goosebumps wrapped around me as I watched him groan in pain. Fear and desperation firmly clung onto me at the thought of him dying.My heart was torn apart, and I couldn't bear to watch his life slip away from him."Asher," I called with every strength I could muster this time around. But my voice was barely above a whisper, rough and harsh.Asher's eyes flickered open, but he couldn't even keep them open. He was so weak and almost lifeless; he couldn't even move an inch."Asher!" I called a little louder again, my voice filled with despe

    Asher"Bastard! You bastard!" Leo growled, his voice heavy with a seething rage as he glared at Xenra."You dare lay your filthy hands on my father, and you have the guts to say it to my face?" He continued, disbelieving, ringing in his tone as his eyes glinted with wrath.The veins on his face became more visible as he seethed, and at that moment I felt my strength seeping off my shoulders.My knees couldn't hold me up anymore, and I staggered backward; my steps took Xenra unaware, and despite her efforts to hold me back, I fell to my knees."Asher, Asher, Are you okay?" Xenra asked, her words rushed and urgent as she stared at me, desperation glinting in her eyes.From the look on her face, I could tell she really wasn't waiting for my response. She had gotten the answer herself and had only asked because she was scared. I could see it in her eyes. An unfamiliar look I had never seen before, even when she pretended to be an ordinary maid, even when she went through the harsh punishm

    Xenra."You bastard!" Lenhandro cursed, staggering backward, his eyes wide open in shock. The disbelief and pain written all over his face were palpable.He winced and gasped for breath, desperately trying to cling to life as it began to slip away from him, but there was nothing he could do while I watched in anticipation as he struggled all he could, until he finally collapsed with a heavy thud.The veins on his face and neck were now visible, and his laboured breathing was now very audible. He bared his teeth, unmistakable wishes in his eyes as he glared at me, but all he could do was curse.The sight of him struggling to hold onto life made me chuckle, the sound of which echoed the mockery and contentment in my heart.Lenhandro's eyes fluttered as he tried to stay awake, but then, even he seemed to have realised he wouldn't be able to stop what was coming.As it dawned on him that he couldn't do anything to stop his inevitable demise, he growled again, "You bastard!"

    XenraMy lips spread into a small smile as I snapped out of the thoughts that had kept me busy. "Really?" I asked him. "You want us to join hands together?"My words were wrapped with surprise as I spoke, staring at him in a feigned excitement."Of course, my love," Lenhandro swiftly replied, determination ringing in his tone."We can join hands together, and you'd see just how we can take over the world. The world is large enough for both of us to rule." He added, conviction echoing in his voice as he gestured.He halted in his tracks, and I saw him swallow hard. "Look, Xenra, I'm not ready to fight with you; I would never do that again," he said. "I'm ready to go with your terms."His furrowed brows were supposed to convey his sincerity, but I could see right through him, and I knew it was a mask over his evil ambition.As if he hadn't said enough, he continued, "I'm really sorry about what happened; believe me, I really regretted it," he said, "I've really missed you so much, my lo

    XenraMy steps were heavy with determination as I rushed through the hallway with just one intent in mind—to get to Lenhandro.The hallway was packed with maids and male servants, who were hastily running in all directions, speaking for safety, while Leo's and Lenhandro's soldiers chased them, slashing them with their swords.Cries of anguish and fear echoed in the whole of the palace, but the soldiers didn't spare them.Inside the hall, Asher's soldiers were already fighting against the invaders, clashing against them, and they tried to secure their home.Seeing the maids and the old servants being slaughtered greatly enraged me, and I marched towards them.Since Lenhandro's soldiers had come from the main entrance, I knew if I could break through the approaching guards, I'd get to the bastard who betrayed me.As I brooded over my wrath, a soldier fell beside me, and his spear slipped from his grasp. Without waiting for another second, I swiftly picked it up, and with that same inten

    Asher"Quickly, let's go," Xenra said to the guard that supported my other arm, and they both led me into the secret passage.As we walked through it, I kept hearing the loud wails and screams of my people, conveying their agony and distress.The sound of metal clashing against another filled the air and made my heart ache. That was the cry of my innocent citizen, and the fact that I had to hide to save my life broke my heart.As we walked through the dimly lit passage, my heart kept bleeding as their voices filled the whole space.Deep within me, I knew I had to do something; I knew I shouldn't be the coward who abandoned his people and flew to safety while his people were being sacrificed in their home.Filled with that determination, I halted in my tracks, refusing to be led farther away from my people, who were sacrificing their lives for our clan.Xenra's head whipped towards me, but before she could say a word about it, I swiftly began to speak:"This whole thing will lead to ev

    Xenra"No," I shook desperately as I stared at him, "I can't leave you." My words tumbled out in a determined rush.Seeing him getting weaker and weaker was already a painful sight, but what I couldn't bear to do was to leave him alone just as he had requested."What is wrong with you?!" Asher said, more like a statement than a question. "I'm asking you to leave now. Do you want Lenhandro to kill you again and have the last laugh?""He's your worst enemy, and we both know you'd forever be uneasy if you don't have your revenge against him tonight," Asher added, his voice firm and resolute.Asher's breath finally stabilised, but then I knew it wasn't something to rejoice over, since that was the nature of the poison. My clan's mate had always referred to it as "the poisonous deceit."I knew it was the last gathering of strength that would last for just twelve hours after the person had been injected, before his eventual demise."As you can see, I'm getting better and can take care of my

    AsherI could feel my spirit gradually leaving my body as I lay there. The whole of me felt heavy; I was tired of struggling, and my vision began to blur.Vaguely, I heard Lena hiss and saw her walk away from the room. The victorious smile I saw on her face jabbed at my heart even as it dawned on me that I wouldn't be able to save my people and defend what I had always held dear.My mind began to reel with countless thoughts, a chaotic mix of thoughts that made my mind run wild as I sought a solution.But no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't get my mind to focus. The intense pain I was feeling inside wouldn't allow me to focus on a possible solution, and I began to wonder if that was how I would die.My chest was tightening within me, and my breath grew short. Gradually, I began to gasp for breath.Outside my room, I could hear the footsteps of soldiers running towards the entrance. I could also hear the heavy thuds of soldiers on the marbled floor outside the mansion as they r
